If you love them I bet you have the first CD. Have you read the credits? "All lead AND backing vocals performed by Nicole". It admits it right there :D I dunno I have little sympathy for the girls mad she gets all the spotlight

It makes NO sense. And the Cochran mention just made me laugh--NEXT time we have another pointless story trying to redeem Todd for being a rapist will someone mention this story in the same way?

Agreed completely

ME TOO but I think the last 3 years of the Rauch era SUCKED. S. Michael Schnessel as headwriter was completely incapable (I did liek Peggy O'Shea's work I wonder if she left on her own)... Margaret DePriest who had recently bene hired to help fix up AMC after slipping ratings in the late 80s was then hired to One Life and didn't she do the awful rap story, etc?

But it was not boring. That's the thing. Yes, it was over-the-top and silly; I knew that even as a kid, lol! But it was never boring. Which is a lot more than I could say for OL these days. A lot more. ;)

I thought so too....but I could be wrong.

I also thought it was Howarth's leg and foot that was shown on top of Marty's. Blue jeans and solid white tennis shoes. I can't remember from the original KAD storyline if it was Todd or one of the others that was dressed like that though.

I figured Lola killed her mother. I just didnt picture her framing Ray for it

The dorm scenes with Todd's 3 women has me on the edge of my seat. That stuff is good. I was shocked to see Tea shot but I kinda saw it coming. I really wish they hadnt have dragged Rebecca into this bc her part is unncesary. She really got Jack to go to sleep? Puh leaze. The boy would have found some way to run away or call 911 the minute she let her guard down

I think it was RC's plan all along to have Lola be the killer, but I remember people protesting so much months before the storyline was to play out. Was the Vanessa story poorly plotted? Yes indeed. However I don't think RC intended to keep Vanessa on very long, or let the Montez family become a new core family, like Malone triedto do with the Santi's.

    • My hunch is what you've described. JFP is likely back working on transitioning the show to a new studio and embracing new technology for its production model.
    • The woman who was the co-chair of Latinas for Trump is now complaining about his targeting immigrants that she thought were "safe." I also read a puff piece from yet another "insider" journalist who lives to normalize fascists - this one with a tech bro who was venting off the record because he thought voting for Trump was cool and would show up the Democrats and maybe we'd get Greenland, but now he's getting upset.  These people still support Trump, and Republicans, they just want to make sure they get credit for being respectable. And they will get it.
    • I really do wish someone could. Just a few characters in very simple backdrops, with very real problems that are just a little larger than life, like the '50s and '60s. All the characters having a level of dignity or respect. And their inner lives are what dominate the story, even if there are outside forces at play.
    • It's a lesson to never be loyal because once your use is up, you're shown the door. MSW was the only bright spot for CBS for awhile, and once they were back on top... they promptly sabotaged the show as a repayment for all that the show had done for the network.  
    • The show made a mistake in not bringing in more McKinnon kids, specifically bringing back Ben. Kathleen was leaving, and while I like you am very fond of Sally Spencer as MJ, that didn't seem to be a common view. They also decimated the character in a truly sick storyline. So that just left Cheryl. 
    • Between Gwen and Cat, the show often seems to side with those who cause lots of cruelty to Jack and Jennifer. I am half-surprised that the show hasn't brought Peter Blake back for more of the same.  I don't really know if there is a purpose for them in Salem now, but I do feel a sense of stability and rightness when Melissa Reeves is back in the role of Jennifer and back in the Horton house, in spite of...well, a lot of offcamera stuff we all know perfectly well. 
    • I like to call her an FC-reject character

    • I’m sensing you’re not really a John Black fan from your posts. This has been some of the best soap Days has done in many years but you seem completely opposed to it lol.
    • The John Black character has been a part of my life for decades. I like heroes being honored, however imperfect they may be.  I'm glad they are giving him a long farewell and tribute.
    • Annie Dutton was anything, but sane when she was introduced.  She was very tortured and looked like she was on the verge of tears when she was first introduced.   While people, and writers, made it seem as though Annie lost her mind because of Josh.. I truly think that Annie had a lot of untreated mental issues that didn't manifest until her marriage to Josh. Sonni was also anything, but strong when she was first introduced either.   Claire in 1983 was a complete 180 from the Claire that we got in 1986... and I do agree that her character was degraded.
